I just heard that Tom Knapp, world record exhibition shooter and hunting advocate passed away a few days ago. I watched many hours of his clips on Shooting USA, Benelli's show, new Mossberg shows,...

I just want to report back. I finally got a chance to take apart the R1. I received my new recoil spring assembly and firing pin spring; however, as you guys predicted, the misfire had to be...

Thanks Steve and Saw. I always clean my rifle after a range trip or hunt (if I shoot something); however, I haven't done a thorough scrubbing on the gas piston in a while. Also, I noticed on a...

If you get the Warne permanent mount rings, you'll need the high rings. With my medium ones, the 44 mm objective almost touches the barrel. I have a Zeiss Conquest on my .300 Win Mag R1 barrel and...

I have probably 300-400 rounds through my .30-06 barrel that I found in sporting goods store in VT about 2 years ago. I suspect that it had been sitting in the shop for a few years prior, but it was...

I have a few sets of the Warne permanent attach scope rings in medium height. They are good and decently priced. With that setup, I've put a Nikon 3x9x40 and a Bushnell Trophy XLT 1.5x6x44 (30mm...

I've had my .300 Winmag for about 6 years, 24" barrel. I've never seen accuracy decrease with the barrel getting hot. That cryo treatment on the steel really helps that - much better than other semi...

I had my R1 .300 Win Mag 24" barrel ported by Magna Port. Not their muzzle brake, which costs about double, just 4 ports on the front of the barrel. I have to say that it reduced recoil a slight...

I have a Zeiss Conquest on the .300 wm that holds zero fine. I would not go lower than a Leupold VX-II on that rifle. You can't go wrong with a Leupold. I believe a typical 3-9x40 is in the $300...

I have a .300 win mag (24") and .30-06 (20") barrels for my R1. I like to shoot Hornady Interbond 165 gr. for both, hunting hogs, deer, and bear. Although, I have to admit, I feel like I'm lucky as...

I'm probably around 1.25" groups with both my .30-06 and .300 win mag barrels on an older, standard model R1. Seems to like Hornady Interbond 165's and Federal Fusion 165's the best, but really...

Are you using the Superformance loads? I have been using the "regular" interbond's in 165 gr. with my .300 wm for a few years without any fouling problems. I belive the superformance loads are not...

I know you don't want to spend a lot of $$$ finding the right loads, but in my .300, my R1 shoots the Hornady Interbond bullets the best, but also shoots fusions well, too. It's an older R1 and does...

I like either the Unlcle Mike's standard slings (about $10 or so) and I really like the cobra shaped slings with the sueded leather on the inside. I've bought both at Bass Pro and topped them off...

I don't hand load, but I seem to get about 1.5" at 100 yards with both the .30-06 and .300 Win Mag using the Hornady Interbond (not the Superformance line) in 165 grains. These seem to shoot the...

I bit the bullet (no pun intended) and bought the overpriced one at Brownell's. Since it was only a spare, it wasn't worth risking a malfunction over with a hardware store version.

Here's a paste from another thread I wrote a few months back:

"I have the 20" barrel in .30-06 on my walnut stock standard R1 with the Nikon Monarch UCC scope in 3-9x40. On that barrel, I use...

Sorry for the late reply. I posted back in Dec or Nov. last year about the Warne picatiny rail and medium rings working great on the R1. Scope is a Nikon Monarch 3-9x40. The base is the one...

I have the 20" barrel in .30-06 on my walnut stock standard R1 with the Nikon Monarch UCC scope in 3-9x40. On that barrel, I use the Warne 1" medium height rings and the scope sits nice and close to...

No prob. I read your post about that and I think like you, I would have preferred a standard one piece Leupold base with dovetail rings, but this aluminum rail (looks aside), seems to do the job. ...

I just got myself a .30-06 barrel for my R1, but it didn't come with the $135 picatiny rail from Benelli. I read almost every thread on this forum, and was worried about aftermarket rails on the...
